And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

I'm a big believer in education, period.

For me, there's still a lot of room to grow; I'm just happy that I have so much more to give.

It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.

Even before I became a recording artist, I did other things in music. I was a teacher, I did studio work, and I was an arranger and a producer.

A real active music set, based and really concentrated on what the music's all about. That's what I'm all about - singing and a really good strong music set.

I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.
